By LILY CURRY,


There's many q doleful song been sung.
And many u sigh been uttered,
For him whose bread grim Fate hath flung
To the earth, with the down side butterod;
For him whose sup il q bitter cup
In whose heart force passions forage
Whose luckless basin lies bottom up
When the rain 1t raineth porridge.
'Tis o, and alas for him who faints
And falls Ve victis, trulYl
Swift some one springs to the breach and paints
His life aud its virtues duly;
And never a grudgeful note betrays
Such sermon plaintive ditty,
For the age Is patron age whose ways
Embrace the fashion to-plty.
But what of n song or q sigh for those
Whose struggles have not been wasted2
And where 10 the ear to hear their woes,
Who Victory's sweets have tasted?
Who, out of the dark below to the light
On the heights OF Fame ascending,
Are straightway marked for the shafts OF spite
And envy and hato unendingp
Nay. nay The world, though selfish world
Holds ever a just position,
And thanks the creature whom chance hath
hurled
In the dust-for his sweet submission.

That was all. Dick Cameron made no
reply, but, with q sad heart and heavy step,
slowly left the room.
Patiently and faithfully, for three tedi-
ous years, had Richard Cameron waited
for the woman no loved, trusting implicitly
in her promise 10 marry him as soon as the
world acknowledged her talent, and this
was how that woman kept her word.
Last evening he was so proud and happy,
and this morning Dick Cameron, although
one Of the richest men in New York, was
also one Of the most miserable.

DE-. PoRREr has published some very
curious instances of exhausted muscu-
lar power. OF course, the writer's
cramp IS case in point; but there are
professional movements" other than
writing which exhaust the powers Of
those who use them. Violinists lose
the power of manipulating the strings
with their left hand, and violoncellv
players that of making the nut" with
their left thumb; compositors cease to
have power over the st ck tailors oan

can at last no longer use the hammer.
II is sagaciously suggested that, in view
of this disastrous state of things, every
body should have a second calling to
fall back upon when the first gives out.

About a Brakeman.

A few days ago i was returning
home and had taken my seat in train
on one Of the Western roads. We
were soon bowling mcrrily along, and,
as usual, was on the lookout for the
fiend. Presently he appeared. His
first act struck me rs unusual. He
closed the door before shouting. The
effect of this would be to shut out the
whirring. rushing noise of the wheels
rolling over the rails and thus made
his utterance more Ineligible. did
not understand why railroad brake
man should wish to do that
After closing the door he advanced
to the centre of the car. stopped, clear
ed his throat, and in deliberate, clear,
resonant voice, whose distinct tones
penetrated to every part Of the car, he
cried:
"Dun-kirk, Dun-krk! Passengers-for-
the New York Lake. Erie and
Western-road- change-cai s--Dun.kirk!
AS he commenced the sentence it was
curious to observe the expressions on
the faces of the passengers-surprise,
wonder, and incredulity; as he proceed
ed these expressions deepened, and
when he had reached the end and turn
ed to leave the car, general hum OF
conversation ensued, in which could be
heard such comments as: swell, l
neverv' "Oh, what an elegant brake
man p Didn't he say that beautiful
lyP' Hes perfect jewel ~ An old
farmer nudged him and said "Bub, l
heard every word you said; here. have
an apple p
The brakeman took the apple.
A commercial traveller on the other
side of the aisle handed him cigar,
saying: You are the first one of the
kind l ever met. There's very fine
Havana; smoke it after supper"
A middle-aged lady told him to wait
minute, and. opening her reticule.
she took out a handsomely bound vol
ume of Tennyson's poems, and said she
hoped he would accept it as gift from
an admirer.
As the brakeman thanked her he
moved toward the door, portly old
gentleman touched him on the arm
and said:
"What is your name. sir P"
George Plainly" said the brake
man.
well. Mr.. Plainly" said the old
gentleman, II am happy to know you.
Bertha, this is Mr.. Plainly. Mr.. Plainly,
my daughter. Miss Bertha Specie;"
and. MS the lady smiled bewitchingly
upon him, the old gentleman continued:
Here is my card. sir; and If you are
ever in New York. l hope you will
make my house your home while you
remain in the city. You will be treated
as one of the family. Now, mind, sir,
and do me the honor to visit us"
The brakeman passed out, and the
passengers settled themselves In their
seats and talked about him. At each
station the experience was repeated,
and when we had finally reached our
destination. all Of the passengers had
made themselves known to the brake
man. He had his pockets full of the
choicest cigars, dozen books and mag
azines. and one old granger give him a
cork screw. We all shook his hand at
parting. and wished him continued sue
cess in his noble work. Altogether, it
was a strange experience. and the
pleasant memory of it will linger with
me always. Norris Waite in Puck.

PERSONAL AND PECULIAR.


Dan Emmett, the man who wrote Dixie, is
still living in Chicago. He is, as people who
keep posted on theatrical matters may re-
member, one of the founders of minstrelsy
in this country. He is an ACCOMPLISHED fid-
dler and a natural musician. He is also a
good citizen, which means OF course, that he
favors law and order.
The Parnellite candidate for the Carlow
election soon to come off in Ireland, is the
OGorman Malone, the veteran chieftaiu.
and O'Connell's nominator at the Clare cleo
ton Of 1928 He was member of the Irish
party until s5, when he retired owing to
temporary i'll health. He is one of the most
interesting characters that has sat in the
House OF Commons; over ninety years of
age, he is as tall and straight as when he in
troduced the liberat0r to Irish politics sixty
years ago. His intellect is as keen, his hui

One of the most curious sights, either me-
dieval or modern, that England has wit
messed was to be seen on Thursday In North
cumberland, when the twelfth centenary, of
st Cuthbert was celebrated by pilgrimage
to Holy Island, near Berwick, where are the
ruins of the abbey which Cuthbert inhabited
as Bishop Of Liudisfarne. The place can
only be approached at low tide by wading
three miles on the sands. Ten thousand pill
grims, meu, women and children, did this
on Thursday, all barefooted and singing
ancient hymns as they marched. An altar
was fitted up in the open air on the ruins of
the abbey, Over one hundred priests about
it and a thousand kneeling worshippers
made an impressive spectacle. Owing to the
difficulty of wading, the procession did not
arrive till /, when mass was said, despite the
fact that it Is almost de rigueu a forenoon
ceremony. Among the waders were all the
old Catholic gentry of Northumberland of
both sexes, many of whose ancestors were
out in 1715 and 1745 for the Stuarts, and
whose names are the most historic in Eng
land, and side by side with these were Irish
dock laborers from Newcastle.

secretary who had neglected to give definite

A NEW TERROR OF THE DEEP.

Our Canadian Commissioner of Customs
appears to have added a new terror to the
navigation of the great deep. He rules that
a foreign vessel wrecked on Canadian
shore becomes liable TO customs taxation if
Z tten rff As there is no way to realize on
a life insurance policy except by dying, so
the wrecked foreigner must go to pieces to
escape being mulcted by our Treasury. This
may be good law, for all we know, but it's
very curious sense. How did the American
vessel mentioned in our Ottawa dispatch be-
come liable for customs duties? She did not
Intentionally go ashore; she did not enter
into competition with Canadian craft. If a
meteorite of silver descended in Canada would
the finder have to pay customs duties? That
would be a reasonable looking ruling in COM
parison with the decision under consideration
The wreck was paid for by the underwriters
butthey didn't import her into Canada. IL she
became Canadian chattel by being wrecked
then the underwriters exported her. Is
there an export duty on chattels blown into
Canada and then sold to outsiders? If a
stallion escaped from Dakota owners into
Manitoba, would they have to pay customs
duties in case they followed him and took
him back?
